Does OPay debit card or gtbank debit card work for activation?

megasamuel:
Hello. Please can anyone confirm if there’s a considerable difference in performance between the Starlink mini and the standard kit
Especially in rainy conditions

dustmalik:
I have been using Opay's physical VerveCard for subscription since last year.

Johnbosco241:
Opay didn’t work for me but gtbank did

The speed does not worth the drama

georgee:
Which speed are you referring, Airtel?

dustmalik:
If you are in Abuja, you shouldn't expect good performance. The reason why some of us stick to Starlink is because it's still the most reliable Internet service around. Abuja and Lagos are oversaturated. Those enjoying Starlink are the people who live in locations where traffic is considerably less or non-existent.

Johnbosco241:
Starlink speed of course desktop 12Mbps, phone 32Mbps

Make sure that your obstruction map is clear.

georgee:
Mine ranges from 150-200Mbs download and 20-30Mbps Upload

Lagos..City.. Something must be obstructing your dish for you to be getting this slow speeds

The drama is well worth it and I use close to 2Tb per month

dustmalik:
Performance has been very poor in Abuja though. I don't know Johnbosco241's location, but performance has been abysmal in Abuja for the past week. It gets better after midnight.

Seems it fluctuate desktop 56

georgee:
Malik.. I greet u oo.. My Abuja homieee.. How's Abuja this morning.. Raining cats and dogs in Lagos at the moment

I go connect if i enta Abuja

Lagos has improved lately sha.. I think they are doing something in phases

My speed this morning

toluxa1:
You mean the 49k roaming? Why would you wanna switch from that to 57k residential? People on that 49k plan are extremely lucky, they have the best plan currently. They can move anywhere and still have service and also paying less (for now at least).

ask4bk:
You mean those who were on it are still stuck on it with N50k somehow since their plan wasn't price modified and the plan is officially removed from Nigeria?

Hello everyone,

I just got a starlink mini from Jumia. I am trying to activate it and I see I need to pay an activation fee of 400, 000 naira and monthly subscription fee of 57k making a total of 457k please am confused. Do everyone pay activation fee?

jmaine:
Bros... That SAPA no legit again oo... Numerous Naija based stations going offline for numerous days to even a week...

DSTV don do them strong thing...

dustmalik:
I think it's an error on the part of Starlink and they're yet to correct it. Someone posted earlier that they were not charged the activation fee. However, you should take precaution before attempting to make payment. Make sure to reduce the funds in the account the card is connected to, to not more than 100k. Then attempt to make payment and see if you are only charged the 57k.

Whatever you decide, know that Jumia has 7-day return policy, unlike Starlink's 30-day return policy. And Starlink doesn't intervene in disputes with the return policy of their official distributors.

I have standard. I haven't used my dish for months and tried to reactivate it today, I saw that I will likely pay 80k activation charge in addition to the 57k plan to reactivate it.

There's an information icon next to it. Click to view.

Is this part of the agreement they had? Leave the subscription fee and charge us activation fee?

According to a Starlink representative, users in high-demand areas such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt will now pay an additional ₦80,000 ($52.24) activation fee, bringing the total cost of the residential kit to ₦690,000 (approximately $455). This fee, the company explained, is to manage congestion in densely populated zones.

Cities outside Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt are exempt from paying the activation fee. The standard monthly subscription remains at ₦57,000 (about $38), while the Starlink mini kit—a smaller, more portable device—retails for ₦318,000 (around $210).
